Tr.4, “Scapegoat” 5 min Tr.5, “Leesome Lane” 2 min 7 Different for KC, we hear more serious and sad songs, and also different arrangements of a texturing landscape… This first track is co-written by Mary Hampton.

Review : http://psychevanhetfolk.homestead.com/F-L.html#anchor_24 (soon) * G-Folk/Fence Coll. Things In Herds : Nothing Is Lost (UK,2007)***° Tr.4, “Nothing is lost” 4 min 11 “When we keep communicating, so that caring remains visibly present, nothing is really lost.”… Nice intimate song album. Review : http://singersong.homestead.com/newwriters.html#anchor_108 * T3 K.C.McKanzie : Hammer & Nails (D,2008)***°’ Tr.4, “Wide Awake” 4 min Tr.8, “Pretty Little Thing” 3 min 7 -34 Recommended song album, accompanied by banjo, guitar, double bass mostly. “After real loss, certain previous connections remain participating in new steps towards the future, because we care about all previously made connections in our heart, and don’t want to loose them with the loss of the person.”… Review : http://singersong.homestead.com/newsingers-14.html#anchor_631 * Guerssen Alan Munson : Good Morning World (US,1974,re.2008)***° Review : http://singersong.homestead.com/reissue6.html#anchor_264 * Guerssen Alan Munson : First Light (US,1979,re.2008)**°° Tr.3, “Good morning world” 3 min 21 This is an important song for Alan’s personal and musical experiences, which came with him from his previous album. Review : http://singersong.homestead.com/reissue6.html#anchor_271 * private Johanna Kunin : Clouds Electric (US,2006)****' Tr.2, “Fireflies” 4 min -38 Bob Theil just told me how much he liked this album, so that’s why I checked this Out once more. I noticed that soon a new release will be ready. So this is to keep your interest warm before that happens. The album was produced by Tucker Martine. Unbelievable that no big label showed any interest yet. Review : http://singersong.homestead.com/newsingers-10.html#anchor_436 * Fallout Plain Jane : An Eye For An Ear (US,1969,re.2008)?? Review : http://progressive.homestead.com/westcoast.html#anchor_228 (soon) * Fallout Yellow Hand (US,1969)?? Described as “an extra Buffalo Springfield album”, with songs composed by Neil Young and Stephen Stills during BS’s demo days, but not released by them. Review : http://psychefolk.com/T-Z.html#anchor_41 (soon) Last couple of weeks Fallout released several Westcoast albums. I preferred to give some attention to the following album: * Fallout Monte Dunn & Karen Cruz (US,1969)**°°?? Tr.2, “Order to things” 3 min 41 Monte was much in demand musician (Tim Hardin,..). This is a well produced album with his wife, singer, who wrote separately inspired songs in a Folk-rock style. A few times they are with Baroque arrangements; more often they’re with a country influence. Review : http://psychefolk.com/groups2.html#anchor_45 (soon) * Little Epiphany Matt Everett : Blinking (US,2008)**°’ Tr.9, “If you came this way” 5 min 27 Matt Everett participated with many groups, like with the first Eyesores album. He’s finishing his studies now, but found the time to record this new album. This song is nicely chamber-like orchestrated. Review : http://singersong.homestead.com/newwriters.html#anchor_90 (soon) * Fallout Michelle : Saturn Sings (US,1969, re.2006?)***°' I just found this album on a fair, another one from the hippie goddesses’ compilation (see below). Review : http://singersong.homestead.com/reissue6.html#anchor_286 * Sunbeam Lily & Maria (US,1968,re.2008)**°° Tr.2, “Everybody knows” 5 min Tr.4, “Ismene-Jasmene” 2 min 7 -18 Strange album that fits with the time, of well produced, first extremely ethereal and then more rocking hippie innocence. The second track is a beautiful instrumental. Review : http://singersong.homestead.com/reissue6.html#anchor_276 * Fallout Terence : An Eye For An Ear (CAN/US,1969,re.2008)**°' Strangely style/ideas mixed poppsych album Review : http://singersong.homestead.com/reissue6.html#anchor_272 * Addictive Miwa Gemini : This is how I found you (US,2008)**° Review : http://singersong.homestead.com/newsingers-23.html#anchor_682 (soon) * Porter Natural Food (US,1972,re.2007)**°’ Soulful jazz mix… Review : http://progressive.homestead.com/jazz.html#anchor_158 * Dusty Groove Gal Costa : Gal (BRAZ,1969,re.2008)***° Tr.2, “Tuareg” 4 min Tr.9, “Pulsars e Quasars” 6 min 10 (shortened) One of her only more “psychedelic” records, often still mixed with Tropicalia. The first track has an Arab psych inspiration; the second track is very psychedelic.

These are two psych bands. Review : http://progressive.homestead.com/Chile.html#anchor_273 * Soundway V.A. : Nigeria Rock Special (NI,1971-1979)***** Tr.1, Ofege : “Adieu” 5 min Tr.3, The Highgrades : “in the jungle” 4 min Tr.9, The Funkees : “Acid Rock” 3 min 12 69 Highly recommended / fantastic Nigerian psych-rock / funk psych-rock compilation. Ofege is a relatively known band. Review : http://progressive.homestead.com/africa5.html#anchor_274 * Fallout Demian (US,1971,re.2008)***° Tr.1, “face the crowd” 4 min 78 Hard rock/rock-psych, this is a great heavy song. Review : http://progressive.homestead.com/prog23.html#anchor_326 * Shadoks Blues Addicts (DK,1970)**°? Review : http://progressive.homestead.com/DANMARK.html#anchor_228 * Shadoks Days (DK,1970)***???

Review : http://progressive.homestead.com/prog23.html#anchor_327 * private Juan Prophet Organization : Cocktails with Carnivores (US,2007)****??? Tr.1, “threading water” 5 min -91 Theatrical Chamber-rock… Review : http://progressive.homestead.com/prog18.html#anchor_265 * Silenze/Wolfang Alamaailman Vasarat : Maahan (FIN,rec.2006,pub.2007)****° Tr.1, “Manaan” 1 min Tr.2, “Kyyhylly” 4 min Tr.5, “Huikeuden Lierro” 5 min 10-101 Heavy chamber-rock with brass.

Tr.1, “Salamat” 5 min (shortened) 4 105 Raquy and her group amuses herself, with ease & once more, with Middle Eastern inspirations..

Review : http://progressive.homestead.com/prog24.html/#anchor_258 * Nordic Notes Hidria Spacefolk : Symetria (FIN,2007)***° A band which shows different ideas to spacerock/prog as usual. Review : http://progressive.homestead.com/prog22.html#anchor_292 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- outro : * New Albion Evan Ziporyn : Typical Music (US,2005)***° Tr.8, “Ngaben” (fragment) 4 min Gamelan piece with orchestra, a successful combination/composition.

Elend : A World In Their Screams (F,2007)***°' Tr.1, 7 min Sad to hear, but this will be their final release. This contemporary classical approach simply is too expensive to make for a follow up.
